Description

The youngest of six children, Lee Alexander McQueen was expected to become a
plumber, a bricklayer or possibly a cab driver like his father. Instead,
McQueens fierce romanticism and punk poetry helped create 1990s-era ‘Cool
Britannia’. For perhaps the first time since the Swinging Sixties, a lad from
the East End of London could  and did  become one of the most original and
influential artists of the 20th century. McQUEEN is a thrilling rags to riches
portrait of a complex artistic genius. Through exclusive interviews with
McQueens closest friends and family and never-before-seen archives, McQUEEN
reveals an unmatched talent who expressed his darkest fantasies and greatest
ambitions through his revolutionary designs and runway shows.

*** Critic Reviews For Mcqueen ***

""McQueen" doesn't even have to try to make the case for
McQueen's bri­lliance. It's all there, right on the screen; this dude was
artistically bonkers in all the right ways." – Tom Long ,
Detroit News

" [The directors] would have done well to shear away the obscuring
frills of polite encomiums and pay more attention to the structural details of
both the man and what he made." – Matthew Lickona , San
